For floats, the display should now include either a "(single-precision)" or "(double-precision)" next to the float type. Unfortunately, this required a bit of finagling.
When we query for the tooltip, we also need to specify that we want to include subcategory information, which requires changing the signature of GetTypeDescription (et al) and GetCategoryText to include that information. Additionally, pluralizing the type gets a little weird. For containers, you might get something such as "Current type: Array of Float (single-precision)s". Instead of trying to fix the out of place "s", the wording has been changed to "Current: Array of Float (single-precision) types".

previous change at CL 18866227 was backed out because it broke the bot1 cooks: https://horde.devtools.epicgames.com/log/61ffcf94676584e71ea0ab7e?lineindex=104697
Basically GetBoolMetaDataHierarchical returns the wrong thing and the return pin can no longer be broken up and so the blueprint won't compile.

The original ENABLE_BLUEPRINT_REAL_NUMBERS macro was strictly meant for AB testing in the Dev-LWC. Currently, disabling it won't work, and would likely lead to broken behavior. Its presence might incorrectly indicate to licensees that this is an option that can be toggled safely.

- Ensure pin value watching for folded properties retrieves the correct value
- Const-ifying some code paths around blueprint pin watching

Blueprint real number support.
This change deprecates the use the of "float" and "double" types in Blueprints in favor of a new "real". By default, "real" is back by a double precision floating point number. However, it can be single precision if the number is a native float property or function parameter. This distinction won't be visible to the Blueprint user: in both instances, they'll be represented by "real" pin types. During deserialization, we'll automatically convert Blueprint pin types to use real/doubles, unless they're used to represent native code (including delegate signatures).
One consequence of this change is that we need to perform implicit casts between single and double precision real numbers. During Blueprint compilation, the compiler will detect points in the graph for when either a widening or narrowing conversion needs to occur. Subsequently, the script bytecode will contain a new cast instruction that performs the conversion. This also works on container types, but each entry in the container will have to be converted. This can introduce unwanted overhead for large containers that are frequently passed between Blueprint and native code.
The scope of this change affects Blueprints used by Gameplay, Animation, Control Rig, and UMG.

Either enabling the 'thread safe' checkbox for a function or overriding an already thread safe (either native or BP) function will enable compile-time checking for thread safety.
Checks are based around the complied statement list rather than the bytecode itself.

Change summary:
- Added IPinTypeSelectorFilter.
- Extended SPinTypeSelector to support an optional custom filter attachment and filtered item count.
- Implemented a custom filter to run pin type items through the active BP editor's imported namespace list.
- Exposed a custom filter option to allow the user to toggle namespace filtering on/off across all pin type selectors inside the current BP editor context. Currently does not persist across editor sessions (similar to how the context menu works atm).
Notes:
- Selector widgets will appear unchanged, until BP.EnableNamespaceFilteringFeatures CVar is switched on.
- Currently no engine/QAGame types are namespaced, so filter has no visible effect outside of FortniteGame.

Change summary:
- Consolidated transient setting flags into UBlueprintEditorSettings; no longer dependent on UEditorExperimentalSettings. These continue to mirror the CVars for now. Also restored the sink function so that changing options will refresh the UI.
- Compiling a Blueprint will now inject the namespace into the class metadata if it is set on the UBlueprint asset.
- Added IsImportedType()/IsImportedObject() helper methods to FBlueprintNamepaceHelper.
- Added a CVar to provide a way to test the inclusion of parent class namespaces when checking scope; disabled by default for now to preserve current behavior.
